I am rather shocked at Eric Bahrt’s somewhat naive implication that there is a link between livestock and global warming and somehow this is a reason to become a vegetarian. Further, he claims that 80 per cent of our corn and 95 per cent of our oats are fed to livestock, thereby contributing possiblyto massive starvation. If that is true, then we humans mustcontribute even more heavily to global warming and massive starvation because we impact global warming and consume fruits and vegetables much more than livestock. We have just as much a right to eat meat in peace without being annoyed by those who choose to practise another form of diet. It’s not that we do not respect your right to eat like livestock.
